On Call

It’s a beautiful weekend in the forecast, and it may be the last one like it for the summer. It will be hot as Gehenna and very humid soon. However, I won’t be getting to enjoy it. I am on call. The problem with this is that I will get a ton of calls during the weekend, and over 90% of them will be frivilous. I’d love to share stories of some of the stuff that I get, but with my luck one of the crazy callers will read this blog. Besides, it’s probably a violation of the new federal laws on patient confidentiality. (HIPPA = Health Information Pain in the A– Act)
